Az. Ag. Petrea Pasquale Fatalone Primitivo Gioia de Colle DOC (2020)

Notes from the Importer: The 2020 Primitivo Gioia del Colle is a classic expression of the local Gioia del Colle clone. After natural fermentations in stainless steel tanks, the vintage was so vibrant and expressive, that the wine rested for only a few months before it was ready to go to market. With no fining or filtration, and only low amounts of sulfites added to the bottled wine, this red’s structure and balance is so beautifully delicate. In the mouth, there are tones of black sour cherry, toasted bitter almond, and fresh turned earth, all accompanied by fantastic acidity and a very long finish. A beautiful example of balanced Primitivo that is built for robust dishes such as red meat, game, and strong cheeses, but it has a finesse that only Gioia del Colle can achieve.
